Here's an interesting bit of research on filtering out snow noise from a LIDAR point cloud:

- tlear 8y agoIn those conditions maybe, problem is where is the road.. or lane. There are no markings of any kind when you have snow on the road. No marking you need to estimate where lanes are from what is near road and what other cars are doing. Exponentially harder problem
- gugagore 8y agoBut if snow occludes lane markings, which is what the parent was discussing, then no amount of sensing helps you see them, right? (You can have a map with lane markings and localize on that map, though)
- jpindar 8y agoExcept that many times when the lines are invisible, new lanes form that are in a different location. So your map will not match up with what the rest of the traffic is doing.
- gugagore 8y agoI agree. I was just anticipating the common response to that challenge, or any other "static" perception challenge, which is "but there is a map"
- cal5k 8y agoI mean... the map at least bounds the problem. You can be pretty certain in almost every case that the lanes won't be outside of the mapped roadway.
